Eastwood makes a 2K Clearcoat in a spray can. Once the button is pushed to activate it, it has to be used. It is available from Eastwood and on Amazon.

That's the only rattle can I would recommend on a vehicle you care about. Claer coat paints you buy from your local store don't have a hardner in them and will get dull with sun exposure. Any clear you spray on headlights needs to be put on with very very light coats at first. You also need the coats to dry before laying on another coat. Putting a clear coat on headlights is not a rush job.

Which is why I'm waiting for the weather to warm up before I finish polishing these and using my can of the Eastwood stuff! I sure hope this picture doesn't come out upside down!

Prep the lenses with 1000 grit before you spray the clear on. Don't spray a polished surface.
